Drakken's new lair
The Bioforge

Kim Possible's vilest foe looked on from a catwalk as his twisted plans came to fruition.

"Make sure the latest batch of specimens are ready. Level 1 Protocols are in effect." He hissed over his link to the lab head.

"Yes Sir."

A lackey walked up.

"What is it?"

"She's in place Sir."

"Good. Let me know when she's completed her mission."

"Yes Sir."

'Soon." He thought.

A dark suited Al Evans was stretching his legs…

On a walkabout in post-Holocaust America…

To this tune…

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best

"MUTATE! Alpha Class! DESTROY!" Nimrod howled as he and several Sentinels 'BLAM! BLAM! BAM!' attempted to shoot him.

Al wove through the rubble and found a 'spot' he could use. 'C'mon. Show me…!' he leapt away as a bolt fried the ground where he'd stood and let fly with several bolts of energy that slagged the Sentinels… except Nimrod. 'Save the Best for last…'

Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best

"Whack!" a shadowy assailant tried to kick his legs out from under him while he was attacked with a bo.

Al stripped the bo from his foe, kicked away and rolled in front of Nimrod.

"DESTROY!" the Sentinel cried before 'Nggnk!' he was pithed through the chest by Al's hand.

The bo glowed with a feral light and flew from his hand…

Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best

Spirit In The Sky
Lyrics by Norman Greenbaum

To land in his shadowy opponent's.

"Time." He said as the lights went up. "You know better than to do that here. The Director'll getcha for that…" he said. "Stick."

"You've improved." He said. "Come back. They ne…"

"No."

"You're wasted here."

"What you're sayin' don't mean spit here dude…"

Nakasumi Tower
Shinjuku District
Toyko, Japan
2045 hrs

Kim sat in meditation thinking about their earlier meeting with Nakasumi in his boardroom…

"Sir do you have any idea why she's targeted you?" Kim asked.

"No. … These days I am but a humble toymaker…" he said. He turned to Ron. "I was able to get the items you needed Ron-kun." He said as he placed a spray bottle on the desk before them. "This is truly a radical concept. History in the making. I am impressed."

"Ron?" Kim asked. Ron winked.

"Thanks Dude." Ron said as he took the bottle and sprayed himself and Rufus with the contents. He looked at Ms Kyoko and Nakasumi. "Did you…?"

"Hai."

"Hey KP. Try some." He said as he spritzed her to Nakasumi and Kyoko's amusement. "It's sunblock… and stuff. Made it myself. Even keeps the flippiness in your hair!"

Kim rolled her eyes. "You are so weird at times Ron…" she smiled. 'it's one of the reasons I like him…'

"Like Einstein?" he asked. "uh huh." Rufus chirped.

"You wish Potential Boy." She turned to Nakasumi. "So you have no idea why she'd want to kill you?"

"No. Although I'm the Emperor's 11th cousin my position's minimal…"

"No It Isn't." Ron said. "You're a Treasure of Japan. Kids look up to you. The Z-Boy alone restored the economy…"

Kim frowned in thought. 'That's it! Drakken! He's lashing out. Why?' "Sorry Sir?"

"My cousin has told me that assistance is on the way… We must be patient and wait for her trap to spring." Nakasumi said with an enigmatic grin.

---

The Parade wove its way through the streets of Shinjuku…

Nakasumi-san and Ms Kyoko waved at the crowd as Kodo played…

Team Possible sat in their hidden vantage point. The ball that sat behind Nakasumi-san.

Kim and Rufus checked their surveillance gear…

Ron fiddled with his bo. 'C'mon. We can DO this…' A cloud formed beneath his feet and sputtered out…

"Ron." Kim frowned.

"Sorry Kim. I've been trying to get my powers to work…" he hung his head. "Without 'em I'm just your useless sidekick…"

She braced his shoulders and looked him in the eye. 'love his eyes…' "Listen to ME Mister, You're not some useless sidekick." She hugged him to her. "Who kicked Thanos' biscuit?"

"We…"

"You did." She kissed him! "Heh. For luck." 'OH GOD! WHY'D I DO THAT!'

They were Scarlet…

"HEY!" they heard Rufus chirp!

They were floating on his cloud! "Coolio! KP! Try your power. C'mon."

Her aura fizzled.

"Nope. Not yet." She was crestfallen.

"Hey KP? Anything's Possible for a Possible."

"Yeah." Explosions were heard. Screams began.

---

A Raptor swooped down from above…

"Target: Nakasumi-san." Viper purred to her ninja as she fired her missiles. 'Shego has such nice toys.'

---

Kim burst through the ball and stompkicked and twirled the ninja away from Nakasumi…

They looked at the Crimson-haired Fury before them from the float's deck…

"It is impossible…" one hissed.

"Check my name…" she purred as she flipped down rushed them, flowed into Heicho no Kame and went to work kicking them to and fro with Budda Reaps The Whirlwind…

"Hey!" Ron cried as his bo awakened. "Leave some for me!" he cried as he slit the ball open and…

"BAM!"

Faced Sumo Ninja…

"I am your DOOM!" he cried as he "BOOM!" tried to crush Ron.

"So Not. This is Sick And Wrong." Ron cried as the bo flew from his hand and rapped Sumo's 'nads.

"ngh." The assassin cried as he curled into a terminal fetal position…

"Oooh. Better put some ice on that Champ!" Ron said as Rufus stuck his blaster into Sumo's face. "Don't startle 'im. He's been itching to use it…"

"RON!" Kim cried as she faced off against three ninja with plasma katana.

"Gotcha back Kim." He yelled as he jumped into the fray.

A ninja threw his katana at Kim's heart…

"NO!" Kyoko cried.

---

"Bogie approaching at Mach 1." Viper's radar warned.

'SHIT! NOT NOW!' she thought as she swooped in and grabbed Nakasumi with a grappler…

---

The blade singed Kim's shirt a bit.

She looked at Ron.

He mouthed 'Later.'

They mopped up the ninja with a vengeance.

"BAM!" was heard as "Ahhh!" Nakasumi was taken…

---

"Gee. Audacious Much?" Kim growled as Madame Viper took off with Nakasumi.

She clicked her heels, activated her rocket skates and gave pursuit…

'Goin' old school…' "Gotcha." She crowed as she held on for dear life…

Ron formed his cloud and gave chase…

---

Titans squared off inside The Practice Room.

"You were to be the next Master." Stick said to Al. "You were to serve as Yamanouchi's greatest example."

"I serve Yamanouchi best as a good man willing to help his brother's and sister's fight against evil, teacher. More folks would be dying out here if I had sat in seclusion like you wanted… Now are you going to help me or not?"

"…" "Yes."

"Good." Al walked towards the showers. "You can let yourself out."

Stick turned to leave…

"Don't fail her." Al said.

"I won't." Stick growled.

---

"Two bogies are vectoring towards us. Advise?" The radar asked.

"Begin evasive maneuvers…" Viper hissed as she inflated her G-suit.

---

"YAHHH!" Kim howled as she held tight to her charge.

Ron was at a loss…

Until…

"FOOM!" a blast of plasma severed the cable…

A Bolt flew after Viper, matching her maneuver for maneuver…

Ron swooped in and caught Kim and Nakasumi on his cloud…

The Dogfight flew out over the Sea of Japan…

---

Meanwhile at Nakasumi Tower…

Ninja rifled through his papers.

"Here!" they hissed. "The Master will be pleased."

They melted away leaving several dead in their wake…

---

"In The Name Of The Emperor…" The Bolt cried. "FUMP!" a blast of plasma knocked Viper out of the sky… "Begone!"

The Bolt hovered over the wreckage and flew off…

Viper rose to the surface and waited.

---

Team Possible landed on the float none the worse for wear…

The crowd cheered…

Then roared…

As Sunfire flew overhead and waved to the crowds below.

"What may I say?" Nakasumi smiled. "He's family."

"BOOYAH!" Ron and Kim cried.

She felt a familiar pressure on her hip…

Ron made to move his hand…

She shook no and leaned into him.

---

Later…

"Ok 'Potential Boy', SPILL!" she growled as they stood outside Nakasumi's office while the police collected their evidence.

"Uh Oh!" Rufus cried before he hopped into Ron's pocket.

"Uh… remember when I took that first Rook mission?" he sheepishly said.

"Yeahhh…"

"Well I got to thinking… what if I could get a plastic suspension to act like Carbonadium… without the toxic side effects…"

Kim blanched. "The spray!"

"Yeah." He sat on the floor and leaned back against a wall. "It's non-toxic… just that it wears off after a bit…" he looked up into her unreadable face. 'Here it comes…'

"Ron… that's the most despicable thing you've ever done…" she frowned. "And I love you for it." Kimshine Smile.

"HUH?" 'Women…'

She plopped down next to him. "It saved my life. I thought I was a goner…" she looked deeply into his eyes. "Thanks." Kiss. "RAP!"

"OW! WHAT'S THAT FOR?" he cried as he rubbed a knot on his head.

"For experimenting on me!" she growled. 'Still looking out for me… maybe there's hope yet…' she secretly smiled deep in her heart…

"Sorry."

"Apology accepted." She purred as she went to sleep.

He wrapped his arm around her.

Somewhere in the American Southwest…

"Why's he got us movin' around so much?" one lackey asked another as they put the finishing touches on Drakken's portable Bioforge.

"Don't ask. She's the one that told him to do it. He's whipped…" a shadow fell across them. "Uh Oh." The lackey whined.

"Pop! Crackle…" was heard as Viper crisped her critic. "Where is he?"

"Lab 1." The other lackey whined.

"Foosh!" ash drifted up the hall…
